Team DSM coach Phil West: “We’re looking forward to getting back to action in Oman. It’s the first race for many of the guys here and we are looking forward to putting the hard work we have done in the winter into practice at the race. The parcours in Oman has a variety of nice challenges across the stages, with days for the sprinters, puncheurs and climbers. We will focus on one stage at a time and look for day results along the way, aiming to leave our impression on the race with some aggressive racing, showing our Team DSM jersey towards the front.”
